11.08.23. I see this climb as a hidden gem. Really beautiful scenery with amazing views. Especially if you ride all the way to the top. The climb ends in a dead end, with a nice little café where you can get some refreshments. On the upper descent, you should be a little careful of the grit that can be here and there. The rest of the descent is long and leads through a nice little village.... read more

Befahrung 11.08.23. Also ich sehe den Anstieg als versteckte Perle. Wirklich schön landschaftliche mit Hammer Ausblicken. Besonders wenn man ganz bis nach oben fährt. Der Anstieg endet in eine Sackgase, mit einem hübschen kleinen Café wo man sich gut stärken kann. Bei der oberen Abfahrt sollte man ein bisschen auf dem Splitt achten der hier und da liegen kann. Der Rest der Abfahrt ist lang und führt durch ein schönes kleines Dorf.
